Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic rods multiplying by binary fission. The cells do not form endospores or prosthecae. Accumulate intracellular granules of PHB. Halotolerant restricted facultative methylotrophs assimilating C1 units via the isocitrate-lyase-positive variant of the serine pathway. Do not grow autotrophically. The major phospholipids are phosphatidylethanolamine phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, as well as phosphatidylglycerol. The major fatty acids are C18:1 ω7 and C16:1 ω7c. The major ubiquinone is Q-10. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 67.9 mol%.
